We headed south from Reykjavik and found our way to a secret canyon!  Even though Iceland this year has had the MILDEST winter ever on record, we were lucky enough to have a DREAMY snowy Iceland couple’s adventurous portrait session! …little did Katie know she was moments away from Dave proposing too!  Please come alongside with us today to experience their romantic marriage proposal in Iceland!

The series below of Katie’s reaction to Dave’s Iceland marriage proposal was PRICELESS!

It’s always fun to take a few minutes and admire your new Iceland wedding ring!

The Adventure and the SNOW during this Iceland proposal session was pure MAGIC!

An Iceland proposal must do: Secret Waterfall Kisses!

…and then add in some Iceland Pre-Wedding snuggles and we’re all set!

…the end of the day (actually the light for the day) started to draw to a close and I couldn’t help but have one last swoon as we headed back into the city over this beautifully lit mountain!  What a beautiful fun stop for these newly engaged couple from Chicago! ? ? ?

Now it’s one thing to propose in Iceland (which high five to you if you have or are considering to propose in Iceland!), but then it’s another to plan a luxury surprise (see below what that means) proposal in Iceland.

That is just what Amit, a dapper gentlemen from England hired us to help him with!  So I invite you today to witness their unforgettable proposal in Iceland, watch these two lovers in Iceland getting cozy and adventure around hand in hand!

With a smile, Ann Peters + Team (Iceland Marriage Proposal Planner and Photographer)

I cannot tell you how happy these two were to see this amazing fresh layer of snow!

What exactly is a luxury proposal in Iceland? …It’s when you craft a fun story to your significant other (with the help of your Iceland wedding photographer) that gets them thinking they are simply going on a “photo adventure” in Iceland, because you two do not have enough beautiful photos together!  So we had her thinking that it was just a romantic couples session in Iceland until THIS moment!

Then you mix in an Iceland Wedding Planner who creates a stunning picnic for you with all kinds of fabulous details! Ingredients to a perfectly styled Iceland luxury picnic consist of the following: Warm blankets, comfy pillows, champagne, artesian chocolates, cheese and crackers, other Icelandic snacks, lanterns, and a LOVE marquee sign!

After she “said yes” they delighted in this Iceland luxury private picnic for two!

That Iceland wedding ring!! Stunning!

Firm believers in that statement, Rachel and John reached out to us, days after the proposal.  They were crazy excited to book their Iceland engagement session in this stunning landscape.  They then embarked on a super fun photo adventure with us in our 4×4, totally ready to hike to some offbeat locations for amazing views and incredible photo ops!

These two hiked to a secret little waterfall that morning and stole oh-so many kisses along the way!

Swoon!  That moment where the path takes you to rainbow and a mini waterfall you can walk behind! ?

Their curiosity led them behind to venture behind this super sweet private waterfall! #worthit

Love on an adventure doesn’t get any better than this ?

We had the rare kind of adventurous day that blue skies were abound!  It was simply incredible!

This is my latest and most favorite Iceland Pre Wedding Session spot! This couple and those mountains!!

Iceland Wedding Photography Tip: Let your curiosity lead you through your Iceland engagement adventure and allow your love for each other naturally take over.

When I begin telling your Iceland wedding story it doesn’t actually begin on the wedding day, rather it begins as soon as I leave Reykjavik.  I jump in the car and begin my photography trek to your wedding adventure… What does that mean?  It means I make stops along the way photographing the places you (or your guests) are seeing as you look out your window in awe of this land of fire and ice.  My absolute favorite thing about Iceland is that the dramatic landscapes are always changing.  No matter how many times I photograph a place I see something different because it’s YOUR ADVENTURE.

When I set out on the journey to Bethany and Richard’s Southern Iceland wedding adventure, I stopped at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and heard, “Ann???” from behind me.  There they were… my favorite couple from Chicago!  They had traveled for 12+ hours at this point and obliged to a few portraits in that serendipitous moment- I was happy =)  A few images now to tide you over until I unveil their STUNNING Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon wedding ceremony images!

These two fabulous Scottish gents contacted me last spring, to plan and photograph their amazing February 14^th Iceland destination wedding adventure and ooooooh boy did we plan something EPIC for their 40+ guests!  Keep your eyes peeled to this space for that upcoming post – You do not want to miss it!

Several days before their Southern Iceland wedding adventure began, we kicked off the festivities with a super fun Iceland engagement session (sometimes referred to as an Iceland pre-wedding session) at some very snowy/icy locations!  What I love most about Paul + Marc the most is that they were themselves… they were game for anything, playful, silly, and showed me at every moment and in every scene change how madly in love they are in with each other!  They ran around throwing snow balls, admiring Iceland’s dramatic winter ice, awed in the power of nature at Skogafoss Waterfall, all while getting soaked and laughing through it!  Enough talk… Enjoy these images and the love they exude!

PS- Their fabulous Iceland Engagement Session was recently featured on the fabulous Love Inc. Magazine, go check it out here!

Tiffany + Brian are an UNBELIEVABLE couple from Saskatchewan, Canada that I have been planning with for over 21 months!  They are such a genuine, total thrill seeking couple who is head over heels in love with each other!  Frankly, a part of me is really sad to be beginning the series of their gorgeous wedding weekend posts… because it means our Iceland wedding planning time is over!  <Insert sad, but happy face!>  In 21 months, we had over 700 emails exchanged, countless Skype calls, and endless amounts of excitement passed between =) Oh la la, words cannot express properly how grateful Beth and I are to have been such an intricate part to their unforgettable Iceland wedding adventure. ….but I’m going to try throughout the next several weeks!

Today begins the first installment of two, for Tiff and Brian’s Iceland engagement session (Ummm yeah the photos are total stunners and so much that I must break into two posts so I do not overwhelm you with awesomeness)!

Days before Brian and Tiffany’s wedding day weekend began in Western Iceland, we all went out for an afternoon adventure!  We explored the gorgeous area of Arnarstapi.  It was crazy windy, 32 degrees, but they embraced the conditions and rocked out their Iceland pre-wedding session!  They ran around sod covered houses, jumped between cliff-sides, and tramped on lava rocks like it was no big deal!  An Iceland wedding photographers, dream come true, seriously!  I mean come on, I think every girl deserves to be kissed the way Brian kisses his girl! ….In fact, I’m jealous of how romantic these Iceland engagement images are…but proud to say I created them

Enjoy their Iceland pre wedding session in the stunning area of Arnarstapi below… Make sure you keep stalking our blog to see the other unique location we chose to have as the second part of their Iceland engagement session!

Thus it began!  My mind starting reeling! In case you missed our last post sharing their wonderful Iceland wedding video, feel free to go back here and delight in it. Fun Facts: Tara and Landon are from Calgary, Alberta Canada and they are both Geologists by trade.  They are enthralled with earthy matters, the textures, tones, and history that has made Iceland evolve.  When we were brainstorming on Iceland pre wedding locations for their Iceland engagement session we kept coming back to most historic landscapes in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park.

Luckily Iceland’s 5 day rain stent didn’t even phase us!  Landon and Tara embraced the unruly weather by donning Icelandic sweaters, hats, and hiking boots to ensure the adventure level was at it’s max =)  Our favorite kind of clients!  During their e-session at Öxarárfoss Waterfall they tested their limits by venturing out onto cliff edges, enduring waterfall spray, hoping marshy islands, and running hand in hand around the Iceland tectonic plates (European and North American tectonic plates).

It was a magical evening and proves how exciting an Iceland e-session can be, even in the rain.  They held their Iceland destination wedding the next day on the top  of famed Mýrdalsjökull Glacier which is on the rim of the Katla Volcano… Woohoo!  So please stay tuned next time for that awesomeness we will be sharing!
